Tyson Fury latest comments what do you think thanks

[bumble B]

OK done a bit of research on the fella.

 

Forgot the fella was from these parts, I have a vague recollection of someone sayin they knew him personally, a girl friendly with the gypsy community..

 

Told me this Tyson Fury was gonna be a world champion... seems she was right..

 

I'll say this though, being a world champion he could of made some good money advertising stuff, thats all gone out the window now.

He needs to keep his mouth shut on occasion, otherwise the media are gonna make a monkey out of him..

Not that he isn't doing that all by himself..

 

Did she read his palm or tea leaves to predict this?

Slight de rail .....Any one ever see Lennie Mclean Fight ? He was out spoken but only about his opponents .....Mad Gypsy Bradshaw , Pretty Boy Roy Shaw etc etc ....

No idea, I just remembered her bleating about how good he was..

I didn't even know the fella was anywhere near fighting for a title at the time..

So didn't give her story any thought...

Lennie McClean

 

Read his book watched a few vids same with Roy Shaw...

 

I remember one story McLean regaled in his book about a fight down on a gypsy site..

He turns up and the fella he's fighting is waiting with some mates and they decide its a good idea to gee themselves up by baiting lennie on the way to the fighting area..

 

After taking one to many inflammatory insults Lenny decides they need teaching a lesson.

So he tells em what he's gonna do, and proceeds to beat em all unconscious.

Bodies lying everywhere..

 

Afterwards Lenny asks for his winnings..

"We wasn't ready", the fella said..

Look, give me ma money or next time I won't ffin stop I kill yer...or words to that effect..

They paid up, Lenny left..

I used to work with his niece at the Sportsman casino. She was getting hassle from a little slimeball of a dealer because she wouldn't go out with him, until we mentioned who her uncle was.

Good story..

 

Lennie came across as a lovable rogue in the book, though I doubt he was anything but in his prime.. that fella looked mean..

but I liked him..

The only book I have read cover to cover in one sitting. Who remembers him on "Wogan" when he broke the arm off the sofa?

Out spoken about Roy but Roy was his senior and very proficient even more so without gloves. Fight talk is banter taken very seriously by non fighters.

Yea, it was a good read from what I remember. Shaws book was good as well.

 

Different generations though..

 

I was talking to a fella from a pub near were I live and this fella told me he used to work in Blackpool fighting all comers in the sixties an early seventies.

 

Could of stayed there all night listening to his anecdotes. He went up to fight a gypsy in appleby, beat the fella and got a crow bar over the head for his troubles..

said he beat Jack London as well.. I think it was shorty after Ali beat him..

 

I told him he should write a book about it, he said no one would be interested.

I told him, it depends how good a writer you are, but people do love stories about fighters..

 

I would of read it anyway.. I certainly enjoyed listening to him talking about his days fighting every tom dick an harry for a fiver a fight..
